Some of the Tour 10 Gen 1s have "Quantum" written on them and some don't. I don't remember if it was the earlier or later versions. It's the same racquet with or without the "Quantum."

However, some of the earlier versions of the Tour 10 Gen 1 have "Volkl" written in red while Later models have "Volkl" written in black. The reds are heavier than the blacks. I don't think by too much. Ask Nobadmojo he's the expert.

**See 0d1n's and Ericsson's comments below. There is no red - black cosmetic coding on the Gen 1. I was wrong.**

Can anyone tell me more about this racket...the quantum and tour series is confusing me

The rackets in the picture are Tour 10 Gen I's. I have 3 of them myself, but I have the version with the Volkl and Tour decals instead of Volkl and Quantum.
The rackets are the same...just produced in different years.

Snoopy, see above. I think you're confusing things a little bit. All the 10 Gen I MP frames have "Volkl" written in white as far as I know, some have Quantum, some have Tour written on the "shoulders" of the racket (also in white). They also have TOUR (white) and Mid Plus (red) at the top of the hoop.

The red/black color you're referring to (I think) is related to the Gen II frame, which had a version with "Mid Plus" written in black and one with "Mid Plus" written in red at the top of the hoop. One of those (the black...as far as I remember) was heavier swinging than the other.

one of my friends picked up a Head identical to the bottom two in your photo...how old is this racquet and what is it worth?? i think he paid $5 for it...

Those 2 are the Radical Tour TwinTube, actual from 1995. But they are still my primary racquet for everyday hit. I still have 4 of them in total. If you can find some at $5 in reasonable condition, I would pay you 10 for it.

Thanks guys, that clears things up a bit. The racket in the picture has 18 mains, so does that mean its the 93 Sq. inch version of the Tour 10 Gen 1?

The reason I was interested is that I suspect that the grommets fron the Quantum tour 10 (silver and black) may fit some of my Volkl C7's.

Also, did the quantum tour 10 have wrap around grommets...it would be wicked if I could cram those onto my C7's, effectively making a Volkl prestige!

I put a lot of lead in the hoop, so having wrap around grommets would make things much more simple.

In D Zone,
How does your ti-70 mid play? I just acquired a couple of the 98 square inch versions and so far I am having fun with them. I cut one down to 27 inches and am working with lead to make it around 7 points head light.

A little too flexy in the upper hoop, I am hoping lead at 3 and 9 will take care of that.

Ti 70 Mid is a low powered racquet - Since the head is a mear 88 inch - any mishit means a dead ball; it demands your attention. Once you get used to it - its a very fun racquet, especially when you find the sweet spot. Its pretty stable,, but adding some lead (3 / 9 on the head)would make it even better (thats on my list). The Dense string pattern offers great control - I am very statified on this category. What I need is abit more lively feel like the other Yonex I play with - this points me to the tension of the string. My regret is that I strung it way too low for my liking - I read in TW forum, every is recommending that I strung it in the lower 50s. It's currently strung at 50 on Main and 52 at the Cross. I plan to restring it again next time to 55(main) / 57 ( Cross). I think there is yet more to be discover what this tiny fire ferrari can do. The proj is not over .....

Ti 70 Long - definitely would recommend adding lead on the 3 / 9 on the head which help stablized the racquet.

Also Ti 70 Mid - noticed the mid delivers more flat ball compared to Ti 70 Long. I am not convinced that the mid lack spin capabilities. I played with Prince NXG Mid and Head Flx Prestine - both have the same dense string pattern and I don't have problems with generating spin. Again... the tension of the string needs to be adjusted in my case.

That 98 Radical Tour TwinTube is MP, I don't have any OS keep with me.

man i havnt posted here in years. here are my sticks. some sticks thati've used over the 14 years that i've played the game i dont have anymore, like the HEAD pro lite tour, Yonex rd-7, etc. thinking of getting the babolat pure control next, i demoed it last year and and really played well with it.

Fischer Pro #1, which i've used on and off since the late 90's, Radical OS late 90's reissue, 98 TT Radical OS, LM Radical OS, which i hate

This looks like part of my collection, except I have the 98 twin tube midplus and Lm midplus, 2 TI. os rads which I hate 3 Le Agassi rads and a midplus Trisys rad tour. Just got the mid lm hit with it a bit not sure how I like it yet. Will try and get some pics of them up one of these days

Yes, that would a fischer vacuum pro classic 90...It is truly one heck of a racket.. offers the most buttery feeling of any racket i played so far..
And yes, i am somewhat a semi-racket collector.. I say semi because compare to a lot of racket collectors on this board who has their numbers in the 100+...my racket count doesn't come close... haha
